Not one to miss an opportunity, Kim Jong Un, the Supreme Leader of North Korea, also took advantage of the weakened United States. North Korea ramped up its missile testing and military exercises, pushing the boundaries of international tolerance. Kim Jong Un intensified cyberattacks against U.S. infrastructure, targeting power grids, financial institutions, and communication networks. North Korean propaganda also flooded social media platforms, exploiting the chaos and promoting anti-American sentiment worldwide.
Kim Jong Un sought to strengthen alliances with other nations, particularly countries hostile to the United States. By offering military support and sharing technology, North Korea aimed to increase its influence and secure its position on the global stage. I bet Americans wished Dennis Rodman was still around.
Africa AKA The Shit Hole Continent Cuts Off Its Natural Resources to America
In response to the U.S. policies and the global shifts in alliances, African nations with the most natural resources in the world cut off exports to the United States. This included diamonds, gold, and the rare earth materials crucial for manufacturing cell phones and other technology products.
Mr. Johnson, a jewelry store owner, watched in horror as the prices of diamonds skyrocketed. The scarcity of these precious stones meant that even the wealthiest customers balked at the new prices. His once-thriving business faced an uncertain future, with customers turning away from diamond engagement rings and opting for less traditional, more affordable options.
Laura, a jewelry influencer with a massive following and a regular customer at luxury stores, found herself grappling with a new reality. No more free items sent to her, the prices of diamonds and gold skyrocketed due to scarcity. The once-affordable luxury of purchasing a new piece of jewelry for special occasions became an impossible dream as her followers dwindled to almost zero.
The cutoff of rare earth materials had a profound impact on the technology sector. Cell phone production plummeted, and the cost of existing phones soared. With no new devices being manufactured, consumers were forced to hold onto their old phones for longer periods, leading to a decline in technological advancements. Suzy Q, a tech-savvy teenager, found herself stuck with an outdated phone. The lack of new technology and the high cost of replacements meant she had to make do with her old, glitchy device with a cracked screen. For someone who had always prided herself on having the latest and popular gadgets, this was a bitter pill to swallow.
The lack of natural resources affected every household item that relied on modern technology. Televisions, refrigerators, automobiles, and home computers became scarce and expensive. The absence of critical materials led to a significant decline in the production and availability of these goods. The Smith family, who had just moved into a new home, found themselves unable to afford essential appliances. The cost of a new refrigerator was beyond their reach, and they had to resort to using an old, unreliable one. The family car, a vital part of their daily lives, began to show signs of wear, but the high cost of a new vehicle made in America meant they had to make do with what they had, when they dreamed of a Nissan minivan.
The scarcity of resources and the resulting economic downturn had widespread social and economic consequences. Households struggled to maintain their standard of living, and many fell into poverty. The technology sector, once a driver of economic growth, became a shadow of its former self. Innovation stalled, and the U.S. fell further behind on the global stage.
